Residents of the Hama-based Al-Aydeen Camp have sounded distress signals over the acute dearth in gas supplies.
Civilians said they have been purchasing gas cylinders at 5,000 Syrian Liras ($10) from shadow traders due to the crisis rocking government-led areas for the third consecutive week
.Subzero temperatures and snowfall have made the situation far worse.
“We wake up at the crack of dawn and line up for long hours while our limbs are frozen by snowstorms and torrential downpours, desperately hoping to get a gas cylinder to keep our children warm. However our wishes often go up in the air,” said one refugee.
Meanwhile, those sheltered in areas far from gas distribution centers in Al-Fawqani Camp said they have rarely been updated on the time of the distribution, calling on local traders to try to reach out to far-away shelters and post ads to that very end.
Hama-based Al-Aydeen camp has been characterized by a state of relative calm. Yet, the shelter has not been safe from the abduction sweeps and break-ins launched by the Syrian government forces now and then.
